Boys basketball: Redwood guts out overtime win over Novato

Samson Donick went off for 27 points, including a clutch 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down in overtime to lead the Redwood High boys basketball team to a 70-66 road victory against Novato 70-66 on Friday.

Donick pulled down 13 rebounds, dished out four assists and added three steals for the Giants (10-9, 2-5 MCAL). Joe Compagno complemented Donick's effort with 18 points, five rebounds and three steals.

Novato, led by Max McKone's 27-point effort, closed the fourth quarter on an 8-0 run to tie the score and send the game to the bonus period.

We regrouped and David Murray (three points) and Mitch Thompson (eight points) had huge efforts off the bench," Redwood coach Steve Compagno said. "Samson Donick was a monster, Joe (Compagno) had been sick and he gutted it out."

Josh Broughton added 14 points for Novato (9-10, 2-5).

"Samson made a huge shot and we came down and took a quick shot and couldn't recover from that," Novato's Damon Uriarte said. "Their seniors stepped and showed their experience."
